Former Furious Styles members Miles Freeborn, Tony Reed, and Harris Richardson have spoken out against a t-shirt glorifying the recent killing of a Seattle police officer. All three have blamed vocalist Mike Torres for the shirt's creation, stating that they had no input into the shirt's creation and that if they had, the shirt would never have been released.

It was not politically relevant or righteous. It was a brutal attack by an unorganized, deranged imbecile. We are sickened by the shirt's message and the fact that it now represents Furious Styles. The shirt was created solely by Mike Torres without any consent of ours.

Freeborn was also quick to note that the band has actually been broken up for 6 months and that photos of the band that have been circulating with the controversy depict members who had not been in the band for several years. Richardson also noted that in the two years he was a member of the band, their music did not have an overt political message and that the anti-cop sentiment behind the shirt was not something that he, Freeborn, and Reed shared.

"It’s not like [Monfort] was a political activist. He...wanted to be a cop. He’s not really standing up against cops. It’s not like we’re talking about Mumia or anything."

The three plan to put a stop to the shirt's distribution.

The Bravery have posted another new video from their 2009 album, Stir The Blood. It was directed by Mike Hindert.

Streetlight Manifesto have posted an update on their current status and progress on their 99 Songs Of A Revolution project. The first volume is apparently completed, but a CD release is up in the air. The band explained:

We can't announce [the release date] because we don't know when it is. What we can say is this: some record labels (not naming names here, so it can't be "libel") are just plain horrendous. Seriously though, it's a sad fact that the bullshit bands have to put up with from some labels isn't worth the benefits (ha!) of being on said labels. That being said, it looks like Volume One will be released on vinyl via the Pentimento Music Company long before it comes out on CD or digitally.

We have no tours planned as of this very minute but we are planning our 2010 now. More importantly, though, we will be heading into the studio soon (as is a particular electricity deficient collective..) and we don't plan on touring until we have a few records to release.

The band last released Somewhere in the Between in 2007.

Alkaline Trio followed up the recent announcement of a partnership with Epitaph Records with some discussion about how their label, Heart & Skull, came to be and their thoughts on the deal. Co-vocalist Matt Skiba commented:

We made the decision to form Heart & Skull to put out our own records after having been through every kind of label deal in the industry, big indies, small indies, majors. We knew it was time to adapt to the shifting tides of the music industry and we could not be more thrilled about doing that in conjunction with the team at Epitaph.

Taking control of our own label situation was something we always wanted to do but never thought was possible, but now thanks to Brett Gurewitz and the fine folks at Epitaph, it is. All three of us in Alkaline Trio have always had the utmost respect for the music and the work ethic of the Epitaph, Anti- and Hellcat family and now we're honored to be working together under one big happy roof. Heart & Skull/Epitaph is truly a dream come true for us.

Bassist/co-vocalist Dan Andriano added:

For our band at this time it really makes sense to release our own records, but we wanted to make sure we could partner up with good people who we would want to share in something very special to us. When Brett called and said he wanted to be involved, that was it. Epitaph is a label I've admired and supported for more than half of my life.

The first record under the deal is due out in 2010.

Featured in the newest issue of Alternative Press is the magazine's "Haircut 100" special, counting down a decade of the comtemporary punk/emo scene's best singles. Topping the list is "One Armed Scissor," the 2000 single by defunct post-hardcore icons At The Drive-In. Other notable entries are the Gaslight Anthem's "The '59 Sound" at No. 13, Piebald's "American Hearts" at No. 23, Against Me!'s "Thrash Unreal" at No. 46, the Bouncing Souls' "True Believers" at No. 50 and Dropkick Murphys' "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" at No. 72. A number of bands placed with multiple singles on the list, including Rise Against, Jimmy Eat World, Alkaline Trio, Brand New, Death Cab For Cutie, Glassjaw and Bad Religion.

Voting was conducted by a panel of AP staff and contributing writers, music-industry professionals (including Punknews.org editors Aubin and Brian, as well as Pastepunk.com founder Jordan Baker), as well as band members from Fall Out Boy, New Found Glory and others.

We wanted to harness everything that's great about this band into shorter songs, almost protopunk, like The Stooges or the MC5.
